Report a Fake!

In 2000 we launched S.C.R.U. Squash and the "Player Logo" debuted.

In 2002 Pacey + Pacey Design created a logo for "Just Ask", a Vancouver-based concierge service. This logo received acclaim and was published in Rockport Publishing's "Logos and Letterheads: Vol 8" in 2003.

Just last week a young squash player named Carlos, here from Colombia to compete in the Canadian Junior Open, showed me a shirt he had purchased from "Art Squash" in Bucaramanga, Colombia. Interestingly enough this shirt combined the two previously mentioned logos but was news to both SCRU Squash and Pacey + Pacey Design - meaning we didn't design it or sanction the use of either logo.

While I've heard that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I consider it theft and I'd like to ask our squash friends in South America to think twice before buying counterfeit designs from this fellow. (Yes, we know who you are.)

We will be in contact with La FEDERACIÓN COLOMBIANA DE SQUASH – FEDESQUASH and will update this page soon. Until then: Art Squash - Stop poaching!

The "Player Logo" is ©2000, SCRU Squash and the "Just Ask Logo" is ©2002, Pacey + Pacey Design.

Ripped off in Ecuador!

This photo was just sent to us by a SCRU Cru member who attended the 2007 South American Junior Squash Championships in Quito, Ecuador. Turns out that the fellow wearing this shirt didn't think he had done anything wrong because, well, he just took the logo from the internet and wasn't actually selling the shirts. Nice.

And then they mess it up by putting a bumblebee on the logo? Jeez. We know your name and your club hombre. You'll be hearing from us.
